Re: printer busy or error . HP LaserJet 5si Windows 2000

Believe it or not there is a new HPLJ5Si for Windows 2000 posted in the last 10 days (for the straight 5Si). Go to the following link and select your 5Si variant and then select Windows 2000 and download the driver. I assume you're looking for PCL5e version.

Re: printer busy or error . HP LaserJet 5si Windows 2000

I get the same error on an NT Terminal server when printing to a HP LJ 5si. We are able to delete the "busy" job to let others through, but have not been able to determine the cause. It will happen when a person prints a certain file (usually Excel file), but anyone else can print that file to that printer without it going "busy". Also, if the person having the problem does a Save As, then they will be able to print it without it going "busy".
